Alone at the Forrester mansion, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Taylor (Rebecca Budig) grow closer. He recognizes the warmth and kind loyalty that she brings to the family and feels like she has always been part of the Forresters, even though they weren’t a couple.

Ridge is grateful for Taylor’s unwavering support and likes the way they’ve grown closer over the past few months. He doesn’t see a future with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), and things are way too fractured for them to ever get back on track. He also claims he doesn’t look at Brooke or Taylor the same way anymore. To Ridge, it doesn’t feel like he’s rebounding from one woman to the other, he thinks that he was confused about his destiny but sees things clearer now.

On Thursday, Ridge gifts Taylor a gown he designed, igniting their night of romance that is set off with a passionate kiss.

Collateral Damage

Hope (Annika Noelle) realizes her mom is upset about her relationship with Ridge. Brooke has to be careful what she says. Imagine if she slipped up and revealed to Hope that she only took the CEO position to get closer to Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) so she could convince him to return the company to the Forresters. But her heart is broken, and even though Hope’s understanding of what exactly went down, the fact is that Ridge did go running immediately to Taylor once again.

On Thursday, Hope comforts Brooke over Ridge and urges her to stay CEO of the new company. But how responsible does she feel for being part of the catalyst that broke her mom’s heart? Will Brooke stay on as CEO — and if she does, has she changed her mind about what she feels is right and wrong? Will she still have a hidden agenda to get the company back to Ridge?

Will she tell him her plan about Daphne Rose helping interfere with Carter and Hope? And how does Finn feel about Steffy returning to the office? He would have to play along with her plan as well.
